I had this dream shortly after Misty died. In the dream Dan and I were in Hawaii and Dan fell off the 5th floor balconey onto the sand below. By the time I got downstairs and out the door to the beach, a guy I work with had Dan buried up to his neck in cold, wet sand. It was some kind of method my co-worker learned to keep a person from going into shock. :2funny: And Misty was there licking Dan's eyelids. Just then Dan came to. Too funny, huh??? :2funny:
Funny how dreams work. I guess if Dan was okay, and you got to see your sweet Misty, it was a good dream? Sort of? What do YOU make of it Patty? I've been meaning to ask how you and Dan are doing? I think that it is sometimes more difficult once the shock wears off. Your both still in my prayers....
Licking the eyelids??? lol That sounds about like a Doxie... :2funny: Interesting dream though... But, at least you saw your baby, right?? I love it when I have dreams about my Boo, well most of them anyway, in some of them I am right back to that fateful last night of his, and everything happens just the same.... It is driving me crazy, not sure what I am trying to be told?? Or maybe it is just guilt from not being able to drive the 1/2 hour to our regular vet since I was a wreck... Who knows, but I think alot of it is guilt, heck, I even relive it almost every day... I am just soooo lost without my little guy... Well, someday, I may come to complete terms with his loss... I hope you and Dan are doing better, I know it takes some time, I am going on 8 months myself... Still sending prayers and hugs your way.... Take care....
Wow that is really strange Patty. Hard to interpret? Yes I'd too like to know what you make of it. Those are the kinds of dreams that are painful to wake up from and reality hits all over again. I wonder if falling off the balcony has anything to do with your bedroom being upstairs now. :)
How are the boys doing?

What I make of it is that Misty's spirit is what would save Dan if something like that happened........the licking of the eyelids to wake him up.

When we lose someone suddenly, we need someone or something to blame, and often its ourselves. When Domingo died almost 5 years ago, I was sure it was because of something I did or did not do. But that wasn't the case. I was just so desperate to find a reason why he died, and I couldn't, so I blamed myself. I felt tremendous guilt, like I had let him down in some way, but that wasn't the case either. I loved Domingo, and the life he represented (my life with Dan and the weeners and the other horses), I loved him more than anything on earth and it was an incredible shock to lose him so suddenly.

I think the dream was a visit from Misty, and how she would do anything for her papa Dan. We are doing better, but we miss her so bad. Dan talks about her a lot, and we light her candle every night. We have her picture with her ashes and her candle, along with all the cards we got, set up on the window sill where we can see it. The International Star Registry certificate is framed and its there also. Misty was a special girl.
I always interpreted dreams where my deceased puppers came back as their way of dropping by just to let us know that they are doing okay.
While I've had dreams about all my puppers at the Bridge (Scally, Rusty, Rudy & Max), Max, by far, makes the most appearances in my dreams. For a while, he was accompanied by a black & white piebald dachsie in my dreams (I have no idea where this came from). Lately, though, when I have dreams about Zeke & Zora, Max gets in those dreams as well, as if we adopted the Zs while Max was still around. Maybe it's his way of telling us that he aimed the dogapult at us?
Sometimes, I wonder if through some kind of dachsie ESP he knew that the Zs were needing a new forever home. His final decline started almost simultaneously with the Zs being boarded. Maybe in his own unselfish fashion, he "let himself go", after all, his best years were long past and two of his friends needed a home. Max knew that our home would be the best home for them, but he would have to make his exit to make room for them. So, Max chose his exit gracefully, and opened the doors for the Zs to come into our life. For his wonderful years with us, and for aiming the dogapult at us, we will forever be grateful for Max.

I think you are right, David, you have always been so insightful. I think of my six doxies and I can see how they have overlapped and intertwined themselves in each others lives. I had Christopher, then Hasen and Harry. Chris died, then Hasen. I got Willy and Alex while Harry was still alive. Harry could never figure out why I got those two youngsters to keep him company, he would just look at me while they played tug of war with a glove as if to ask why did you do this do me? But they kept him company until the end. Then we got Misty, whose stay was a brief one within the lives of us and Willy and Alex. Who knows who is in the future that Willy and Alex will meet, who will overlap them and have to say goodbye to them along with Dan and me? All my dogs appear in my dreams from time to time. I've only seen Domingo twice, but apparently he is keeping everyone entertained with his jokes up there. Anyway, I do think they appear in our dreams to let us know that they are still with us and that they are OK.
The dreams are all so interesting......I believe too that they are just "stopping by" to check on you and let you know they are doing ok. I truly believe they do watch over us and wait for us to meet them at the Bridge !
